9PrisonsONEKey - Virtual Enneagram Course

Understanding Self and Others Through EPP's Compassionate Curriculum

Registration is now closed for Fall 2023

9P1K is an eight week course. Participants explore the Enneagram of Personality to learn what is "right" about them. The coursework provides the opportunity to come away with a deeper and more compassionate understanding of why "we do what we do" by recognizing personality as an intelligent survival system learned in childhood and carried into adulthood in ways that can be both productive and self-limiting. Participants will come away empowered with the important knowledge of self-knowing, which creates opportunities for greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-compassion.

“It’s not just difficult to do ‘the work’ alone, it’s impossible.”
– George Ivanovich Gurdjieff

At EPP one of our core values is that we do the work together. ​

At EPP we are building compassionate community to do the work together. Hundreds of people have graduated 9P1k this year and we are adding to our community every day!

We know the importance of a compassionate community and a safe space to this deep work required for transformation. We also know that the Enneagram is for everyone. With this in mind, we have decided to bring our course curriculum previously taught “on the inside” to the public domain.
​
9PrisonsONEKey (9P1K) is EPP’s comprehensive, foundational approach to the Enneagram. 9P1K is being offered virtually to participants from around the globe. Facilitated by EPP Guides, 9P1K illuminates how we are all in a prison of our own making in the ways that we suffer our personality, and makes clear that we all hold the key to our freedom.

9P1K is a 45-hour International Enneagram Association (IEA) accredited training program.

The Enneagram is an incisive self-awareness tool for personal transformation and spiritual growth. For those who have studied the Enneagram of Personality, we know that it provides a clear roadmap to understanding why we do the things we do.

At EPP we begin our journey of self-discovery with the fundamental approach that there is nothing wrong with you, and that each of us is already whole. Using the Enneagram as a systematic map of nine essential qualities to remember what is right about us, we learn to see the patterned ways in which we are so self-forgetting.

Why would you recommend this course?

"I love the diversity of the group… and really appreciate the young people on the panels and seeing a whole new generation learn about the Enneagram."

A Profound Path to Self-Awareness

Participants will come away with a deeper and more compassionate understanding of both self and others. EPP recognizes personality as an intelligent survival system, learned in childhood, and carried into our adulthoods in ways that can be both productive and self-limiting. You will come away empowered with the most important knowledge that exists – self-knowing – which will create opportunities for greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-compassion.

9P1K FAQ's

What did you appreciate about the course?

"That it is teaching both the ‘what’ AND the ‘how’, in other words that it includes lots of embedded ‘loop input’ where we are learning not just about the Types, etc. but all kinds of subtle practical techniques that need to be deployed when working with people (in prison). I also love the clear dedication of everybody on board to the project; their level of self-awareness and the sheer diversity of all the participants.

I love that it has a little bit of everything: written content, visual summaries, videos, a chat forum; opportunities for self-study and collaboration/discussion. It caters to all learner types, which I think is important."

– Fatime Losonci, Mexico
